I know i know the G710TM cant be bootloader unlocked, but i can take one of the other variants thats GSM unlocked and bring it to Tmob, so which one is best for compatibility? Specifically looking for 4G LTE and mobile Hotspot to be working correctly. Is this possible, or should i stick with H932 (V30) and root that instead?
thanks in advance
idk but LMG710TM definitely can't root

not looking to root TM, I know this already.
I decided to get ULM and get a remote unlock. I dont see as much development with the G7 as I did with the V30 which is sad.

You are right the deveploment for the lg g7 here on xda is pretty much dead.
You can also get a sprint variant really cheap on ebay
Thats what i did now is rooted on pie ulm but theres nothing else to do since the deveploment is dead.

Gah. you just sealed it. I'm glad that I didn't make the purchase as of yet. But my suspicions it looks like I was correct. I was debating either upgrading all the way to v40 but it looks like development hasn't gone very far either. though I would like the five camera setup and the portrait mode of the two front facing cameras I don't know if it is worth it as having root plus access custom roms is what I'm really looking for. It looks like development for the v30 is where I need to be. Plus I have all the tools necessary to root it. I've actually rooted it before but the phone was stolen for me
Can it really be that a two-year-old smartphone is really the best bet? I can buy 2 v30s for the price of one v40

Hello all,
just a quick question as I'm new to this phone and have a few starting questions(I'm coming from HTC one so this is all new), I have read and read threads about build numbers but I'm not finding mine. I have the d855 variant with a build #JDQ39B and it has 4.4.2 but it is horrible. it's missing alot of features:
edit options oe Q-Slide within the quick settings
Dual screen
multi copy and paste
and many other factory features.
Also the battery life is horrendous( recharge it 3 times per day).
What I'm looking to do is either change the kdz firmware file to another region( preferably canada if possible) or root, install twrp and install a ROM such as Cloudy G3 2.1( again if possible).
But because of this starting issue of this phantom build # I don't know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Also, apparently this device isn't compatible will stumproot. which sucks but I'll try towelroot as well.
update, towelroot will only give me a text file no apk. again, that sucks.

Brother your LG G3 is a fake
Sorry
I was hoping this wasn't the case. I can't believe I shelled out $380 for this.

Remember, if its too good to be true it probably is
LG G3 is still roughly mid $450s (if your lucky) to $500 something in most stores
Noone would sell one for $380 unless its a LG G3 Beat or if its a second hand phone
Its fake who'd you get it from?
Just never seen any fakes yet? theres the Kings something but that doesn't even hold the same shape. I've stripped this thing down to the motherboard and it all jives. Amazing work they did. I'm gonna try a oem battery and see if it helps longevity?

Just a local site, kijiji. like a craigslist.
I was considering getting an H815 for use on AT&T instead of the new Moto. It appears that you can easily unlock the bootloader. It currently costs less than $450 on Amazon for a 32G leather version. It has an SD card, replaceable battery, great camera, and a good SOC (that does not have issues like the 810). So, why are there so few roms for it? I won't buy a phone unless it is first well-supported on XDA.

H815 will not work with VZ. You have to buy the VZ variant so no unlocked bootloader but can be rooted.

I also do not understand what this means. Are you saying that only OPEN EUR versions can unlock the bootloader and flash roms, and that so few people own them that no one has bothered to create a custom rom for the phone?

Almost all European h815 can get unlocked. H815 without European imei wont work.

As for ROMs, I have been noticing that for a few years on a lot of phones. If you want ROM's, you really need to stock with Nexus devices these days.
I have bought a G4 and luckily mine could be rooted. But yes, there are very few roms available and as a former Samsung user I must say I'm very disappointed with the help you get on the forums. Most queries aren't answered. If I were you I'd stick to HTC.
@phoneturf the h811 is the most prevalent version. I wouldnt get the 815.

Here it is a month later and the support for none of the G4 variants appears to have changed. There are a couple of stock roms for the T-mobile version, but doing a little reading I cannot even tell if there's a working TWRP or CWM for it. I decided to check back with the G4 since now I am instead considering a V10, although I suppose now I won't really consider that one either - I really wanted a replaceable battery and SD card.. If they sold one with an unlockable bootloader for all carriers, like Nexus, Moto, or OnePlus, I assume there would be much more support.
I bought a used G4 815 on Ebay, before I know that only the EU version could be opened (will see what's arriving in a day or two )
Is there any work being done on an Unofficial bootloader unlock?
I saw that the G3 does have allot of roms, did that phone was in the same situation as the G4 at it's beginning?

The G3 was originally in the same boat as the G4 as well in the beginning. That's why everyone is saying stfu and wait. A lot of folks just look at Nexus and other easy unlocks then expect everything to come into their laps within seconds.
And there is an unofficial bootloader unlock in the works. BUT it appears it only works if you haven't taken an OTA update before. All in good time my friend.

I am looking at the Blackberry Priv over the v10.
Take a look, it may do what you need it to and have some extra features added in as a bonus.
Only problem is I do not know what the dev community will be like for this phone.

Well it came in, it's H81510b-TWN-XX :crying:
In the hidden menu I don't see any "roolback" value, so does this says something?
Does using the "low effort root" / installing 11a or 12a will make the roolback value go to 1/2?

Great, helpful comment.
Thanks for sharing!
I am on AT&T USA and interested in purchasing either a new G4 from them for $383 (after taxes) or a G5 from Craiglist (good source) for $400 and unlocking for $30 more, so about $430 or a $50 difference. I guess the smart answer would be to go with the G5, but I really dislike the looks, reviews have been pretty iffy and really like the G4 looks with the leather covers.
Would you please help me decide one way or the other? I also just learned the U.S. G4's have an unlockable bootloader, so no way to root or install custom ROM's. That's definitely a downfall for me. How about the G5? Did I mention I think it's very ugly? LOL
Thank you in advance.
G5 imo
Pay the extra $50
Depends on following:
• EU Model: Yes / No: If "No", go for Nexus. If "Yes", continue reading.
• I want official & almost stable ROMs: If "Yes", go for G4. If "I can wait": Go for G5.
Taking in consideration the G4 bootloop fiasco I would not go G4. It does not guarantee that G5 does not have any other problems, but at least you do not have the obvious one.

hahaha That was funny. Yes, I would be getting the H815 EMEA model so that I can unlock bootloader and root. And I am after the best camera on a phone for under $500, so both G4 and G5 would come before the Nexus 6P.

You are probably talking about the eBay deal that came out yesterday. I looked at it, but it's the US991 U.S. Cellular model. I want the EMEA model (read above).
Thank you all for your responses!
The G4 is a year old now and what does it for me is the 808 chipset. I think the extra 50$ isn't too much for a newer and better phone. If there was a huge price difference then I'd say the G4
So I was digging around looking for a unlocked LG v35 on ebay and came across this ES version with Magisk already on it, and in one of the pics it shows it running 11i firmware if that helps. basically proving that it has full root access I just thought this may prove usefull for us trying to gain root to this great smart phone. i don't have the money to get this specific phone yet but, maybe one of you guys out there does. I'll post a link to the phone itself down below. There are some pics in the sellers post showing that the phone does have Magisk running on it. I'm msging him about where the phone came from and how exactly the phone ended up in his hands. Maybe some of you can reach out to him to. I don't know about you guys but, this seems like some of the best news yet on the LG v35. Being able to actually purchase this phone, i thought would help.

Seems tempting but price looks expensive.
I can make a discount on this phone.
I was about to buy this phone and like all the ones I buy I go to XDA to check if it has a developer to back it up but I find that it does not have anyone.
My question is ... Why doesn't he have anyone behind him? Is the phone itself like Sprint's LG G5 that is almost impossible to modify or is it just a dead cell phone?
-I using a translator, if we see an error gramatically
.
Nothing?
Because it may not be a popular/interesting device?
Because LG gave up the smartphone business and support is dodgy?

Most variants of this device are bootloader locked. It would be nice if LG would unlock the bootloaders considering they're ditching the business.

Couldn't it be demanded? Right now, LG phones are cheaper than any mid-range, taking this into account and that they were withdrawn from the market, it would be a very good idea to release it. Is there any way to get in touch with them or guy to get it released?

I dunno, I don't work for them.
Not likely though considering they only currently support a few devices for that, and they'll be shutting the site down: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
